I cannot select the system partitions. - Vinny0 - 10-18-2016
I got to the step where you select the usb drive partitions. I have one in FAT32 and the other in NTFS and, I try to click on them but they do not highlight in red. Leaving me with the next button still grayed out.
Thanks for the help!

Please convert the USB disk to MBR partition scheme and create two or more patitions (one small FAT32 partition for the system partition, one NTFS partition for the boot partition,
and other partitions for data partition), then use WinToUSB to create Windows To Go.
The best partition layout is as follow:
Partition 1 FAT32 100M System partition
Partition 2 NTFS ...G Boot partition
Partition 3 ... ...G Other partition
... Other partition
In particular, both the system partition and boot partition must be primary partition, and we recommend using built-in Windows Disk Management to partition and format the disk.
This type of Windows To Go drive can boot both BIOS-based and UEFI-based computers..
